Hockey India on Monday sought to strike a conciliatory note with its revolting players, saying that the demands put forth by Indian captain Rajpal Singh and his men were fair enough and a compromise would be reached soon.Hockey India representative Ikram Khan has reached Pune to negotiate with the players. Hockey India had last night accused the players of blackmailing the federation and holding the nation to ransom. Khan, however, insisted that boycotting a national camp was not right way to assert demands. Meanwhile, Indian captain Rajpal Singh said in Pune that they are not going back to the camp anymore unless their demands are met. The Hockey players are boycotting the ongoing World Cup preparatory camp to protest the non-payment of their dues and incentives for their 2009 performances.
